Painted Ship, Painted Ocean - a photo on Flickriver

Painted Ship, Painted Ocean

            Flat as a fritter off the larapuna coast. Steaming north across the Bay of Fires circa 1986.

There must have been a big, fat high pressure system over us given the strato cumulus and lack of wind.

Scallop dredger FV Investigator (G. Rainbird) to the north east of us. The Investigator had an engine room fire off Tasman Island a year or so after this pic was taken. The crew were rescued by the MV Anson on what was literally that vessel's last voyage (another story). The Investigator was salvaged and the wheelhouse raised in the refit.

Things get better. The Investigator was named after HMS Investigator which ship, under the command of Capt. Matthew Flinders, was first to circumnavigate the Australian continent in 1802. 

We were heading toward Flinders Island in this pic :-)
